BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
2010 PRE-SELL
| Sangiovese is to Tuscany what Nebbiolo is to Piedmont. Brunello di Montalcino and its younger brother Rosso di Montalcino are perhaps the greatest expression of Sangiovese. Montalcino is drier and warmer, with less rainfall than most of Tuscany. In addition, the cool maritime breeze allows for cool evenings and the development of great minerality and acidity. Sangiovese, the single varietal for all Brunello & Rosso, reaches maximum ripeness here, giving fuller, richer wines, than anywhere else in Tuscany. |
"The 2010 vintage is a new benchmark for Tuscany’s icon wine, producing reds with wonderful intensity, structure, and energy. I find the depth of fruit, flavor and savory, almost mineral undertone of the wines spellbinding." James Suckling
"2010 Brunello di Montalcino: A Promise Fulfilled
At their best, the 2010 Brunellos offer gorgeous Sangiovese purity, tons of site specificity and high quality across the board, all signatures of a classic Montalcino vintage." Antonio Galloni Vinous Media
